I had computer keyboards in mind when posting this, but players of the instrument are welcome to answer too :D

Yes. 70%. Kailh Box Navys.

Been a touch typist for a while now, but I prefer my IBM Model M as a daily driver. I have a new modern take on the IBM Model F coming in in a few weeks that I'm very stoked about. Buckling spring switches are the best keyboard types ever made.

  1. Yes
  2. HP DC7700 office desktop accessory keyboard. I had a stockpile of them but sadly I'm down to my last one :(

Yes, we had a computer lab in grade school that we would go to maybe once a week or once every two weeks. We learned qwerty and the teacher would cover your hands with paper so you couldn't look. It was infuriating at the time but once I learned it, I was set for life. I don't really think about it, it's just like speaking a language to me. For the most part I type properly but I have gotten into a strange habit of hitting delete with my middle finger instead of my pinky finger. No clue why/when that started and I have to reach over farther but now that's second nature as well. I recall if you got good enough you could play around on the games in Mavis Beacon!

120 wpm peak; comfortably 100 with high accuracy. Playing online games with no mic had me typing fast. Then I got a heavy data entry job. Not winning competitions, but I'm pretty happy considering I don't follow the formal method.

I have a specific old Dell membrane keyboard I prefer over anything I've tried. Not a fan of mechanical keyboards. Tried blues and browns.

Yes, QWERTY at 110wpm with standard left hand and only using index and middle fingers on my right hand, on a normal ISO layout on my Wooting 80HE.
